I'm wondering why Sloan calls Vorona 'Varona'. Is it her codename or what?

Anyways, nice episode and Akane so kawaii but sad backstory.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Mikado needs to grow some balls and decide what he wants for himself. He always gets manipulated by Izaya or Aoba..


That's point however, Aoba and Izaya deliberately caught him off-guard and they plan to keep that for while thanks to the preparation they did. You can't except a immediately counter when one thing is happening after the next make the situation worse and worse.

I've done some thinking, and given the presence of the Izaya imposter, there is now nothing so far that indicates that the real Izaya is the one who manipulated Akane. It wouldn't surprise me if Namie is behind the whole thing, and is trying to get both Shizuo and the yakuza to get rid of Izaya or something like that.


Namie could not give a damn about anything else other than Seji to pull this off on her own though. I doubt she want get involve with the Yakzura if she could help it.

So far it has just been pure chaos on what's been going on. That must suck to find out your families business is running a gang...crazy. I'm really excited to see Varona on what she will do next (:

Akane's backstory, even though it was short, was pretty good. I am impressed. And it was pretty sad when she started tearing her notebook apart.
Two episodes left, the conflict just started. Will this arc end just enough with two episodes? And will Mikado finally developing as a character? I am not sure . . . We will see.

It doesn't feel like Durarara!! anymore.

Yes, it does not feel exactly the same as the 1st season(the atmosphere, the storytelling, etc.), but to say it does not feel like Durarara!! anymore is a bit too far, don't you think?
I like anime.

I was just using her as an example. And she does seem to not like Izaya at all. But I just remembered that it's revealed Izaya knows about Shizuo being setup in an early episode, so never mind.

Question, does the anime follow thee light novels closely? Or is is just loosely based of them. Do the characters end up with that fate?

Aww, Akane was feared, not loved. (T_T)

Everything that ever happened is Izaya's fault. Although who was that "Izaya" when Akane ran away?
So we have Kadota vs Chikage. I wonder who will win.
Hmm, Mikado has his business while Anri has hers. This is so messed up.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

LOL didn't expect that when the episode started and Akane was talking without break :D Just had to start laughing when I heard how Izaya convinced Akane to attack Shizuo xD

oh no poor Shooter D: First getting all depressed and then having to stay there with this freakin weird head oO

Too bad it's already ep 10 now that it starts getting serious. There definitely wasn't enough Izaya thus far.

For people asking about the laugh at the end, it's part of the OST that plays when Anri starts reading the text from Celty's cellphone.

of course we all know it's a part of Durarara's OST since the first season but my previous post was about where did they come with this weird laugh as it doesn't suit a Japanese seiyuu's style or animes' ost .. well, it's obviously a Loony tune's laugh style and they make a weird step to use this laugh in Waraeru hodo hikyo na yatsu track

This episode seemed to go lightning quick. Weird.

I have my doubts that that was Izaya. Or that was him in a wig.

Poor Akane, she's had such a rough life for someone so young.

What really sucked was that her moment as a hero and her faith in humanity was stolen from her.

She did an extremely brave thing, she stood up for a classmate being bullied. If one knows anything about Japanese schools one knows that this is a big deal, she knew that she would most likely become the new target doing so, but she still did it. She showed immense integrity and considerable guts in standing up to the rest of the girls.

And in standing up to them, and discovering that nothing happened, she was given the illusion that humanity is better than it actually was. She thought the other students acted nobly, that they were capable of reason and goodness. That notion was crushed as well as her moment of pride with the realization that everyone only acted like humans because they were scared of her.

So the revelation was doubly damning. She ran away in order to preserve her sense of idealism in humanity as well as her desire to stand on her own.

Akane's past was decently interesting. She stood up to bullies only to realize her new "friends" were actually just scared of her ... I liked how Izaya got involved lol :P He really seems to be on top of things! Not to mention "Kida" was actually him too ... so that's why the chat history got erased then! Things are starting to pick up :D
Kadota and that leader go to fight it on at their school. Then we've got people trying to kidnap that girl (who I don't even remember) and then Mikado and Anri going out as well. To be honest there are so many characters it's really confusing ... >_< Plus it got kind of slow, because nothing really happened D:
Oh well, hopefully next episode will have some more action. At this point I'm not sure if I want to watch the rest of the sequel series ... really failing to hold my interest for long :S

Celty should use the Van-form more often, it blends in a lot better than the motorcycle, even though it still makes the horse sounds....

This episode was very very amusing, and also, "complicated" but at least a lot of things came to light.

Well, we got some back story on Akane, which was actually pretty good. We also saw how Izaya manipulated her, though as others have pointed out I'm not so sure that was actually Izaya in the flashback.

Other then that nothing else really happened this episode, just more build-up. Only two more to go, so I'm sure shit will start to get crazy again next episode.

Great serie. Shizuo,Celty and Mikado have a great focus in the history.
I have much expectatives with Vorona.
His anime still have much questions and have 2 episodes and I me see.
I hope answers in the next season.
Izaya engineered various of intrigues this last story arc.
